Imagines Everywhere

he pauses slightly at your reaction. “…did i make you uncomfortable?”

the question is immediate, genuine enough that your panic disappears almost instantly.

“no! no,” you say quickly, face already burning. “it just caught me off guard.”

lohen studies your expression carefully.

you can practically feel the heat in your face getting worse under his gaze. “…i like it a lot actually,” you admit quieter.

there’s a brief pause.

then something soft shifts in lohen’s expression. small and subtle, but definitely there.

“you do?”

you nod immediately, still embarrassed. “yeah, i just wasn’t expecting it.”

lohen seems to think about that for a moment.

then—

“sweetheart.”

your brain stops working for the second time. “…lohen.”

“you reacted the same way again.” he sounds thoughtful.

completely unaware of the effect he’s having on you.

you cover your face with your hands immediately. “you can’t just keep saying it!”

“why not?”

“because it’s embarrassing!”

“for you?”

“YES.”

lohen tilts his head slightly, watching you carefully.

“but you said you liked it.”

you let out a weak noise of frustration because he’s technically right, which only makes this worse.

“i do like it,” you mumble through your hands. “that’s the problem.”

there’s a quiet pause.

then you hear footsteps approaching again.

before you can react, lohen gently pulls your hands away from your face.

your breath catches instantly.

he’s close now.

close enough that your brain struggles to focus properly.

“then i’ll keep saying it,” he says softly, and you can hear the slight teasing in his tone. he’s definitely enjoying this.

your face somehow gets even hotter. “you’re doing this on purpose now.”

“a little.”

you stare at him in shock. “you admitted that way too easily.”

“you’re cute when you get flustered.”

your heart nearly gives out. 

“lohen-”

“sweetheart.”

you make a genuinely distressed sound this time, immediately turning away while he quietly laughs under his breath.

and honestly?

the fact that he’s clearly enjoying this makes it infinitely worse.
